Chapter 164: Kindness
I originally wanted to travel overnight, and I could reach Xiaoliu Village at noon the next day.
But there was a strong wind on the way.
The driver was very depressed and said, "I have been driving for so many years, and I have never encountered such a strong wind." ”
"Are we close to the sea?" Mi Li'er asked curiously.
The coachman smiled: "Huishan County is 108,000 miles away from the sea. ”
But it's so weird to have such a strong wind in the interior.
The wind swept up the snow and hit the face painfully.
"Childe, we can't continue on this road, let's wait until the wind stops before walking." The coachman said.
Mu Fanchen nodded.
Although I want to go to Daliu Village with Mi Li'er as soon as possible, it is too dangerous to go on like this.
They were lucky enough to find a temple on the side of the road.
The temple is not particularly large, but it is built with great gold.
The coachman went up and knocked on the door, knocked for a long time, and finally knocked on the door.
Seeing the coachman and his party, the little monk who opened the door closed the door with a "bang", without a superfluous explanation.
The coachman glanced back at Mu Fanchen and Mi Li'er, and knocked on the door again.
There is only one such temple within a radius of 100 miles. If they miss it, they'll have to spend the night outside. With such a strong wind, I don't know what danger it will be.
There were two drivers in total.
They are a little familiar with Mi Lier, surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Er.
Another driver who pulled a cart of New Year's goods bought by Mi Lier, surnamed Zhao, because he didn't like to talk, he had a nickname, called Zhao Laoshi.
Zhang Er stepped forward to call the door, and Zhao Laoshi explained on the side: "We pass by this temple every time, but we never open the door to let us in." The monk guarding the door is too fierce. But I've heard that all the children who don't want to be sent here to become monks, whatever they are, they accept them all. ”
Zhang Er persisted in shouting for a long time, but no one responded.
Mi Li'er said to Mu Fanchen: "Why don't you go and have a look?" ”
Although it is said that all beings are equal, as long as they are human, they will judge by their own likes and dislikes.
A good-looking and extravagant person like Mu Fanchen is naturally popular.
"We want to stay here for a while and add some incense money to your temple." Mu Fanchen knocked on the door and said loudly.
The door opened again, and the door showed a fierce face, and his expression was very hideous: "We can't let people live here, and we don't lack incense money!" Get out of here! ”
This monk is too fierce, right?
When Mi Li'er looked at him like that, she thought he was an evil ghost from hell.
"Jingming, how can you treat guests like this? Since the guests have a request from us, we should do our best to help. A languishing slender monk with a mouthful of big teeth suddenly appeared behind Menzi Jingming.
Jing Ming shrank when he heard the voice, and immediately stood aside.
For some reason, Mi Li'er felt that the way he looked at them was very strange, with sympathy, anger, and a little fear.
"A few distinguished guests, please come in, and the carriage will be pulled in too." The tall and thin monk said enthusiastically.
Mu Fanchen touched the demon stone on his body, glanced at the tall and thin monk, and was the first to step in.
Mi Li'er also followed closely.
Outside, the strong wind blew people on their backs, but there was no wind in the courtyard of the temple.
"There's no wind here!" Zhang Er said quickly.
The monk laughed and said, "We are blessed by the Buddha here, no matter what kind of weather it is outside, there is no influence in the temple." In the lower law number Huitong, donors can come to me if they have something. ”
As he spoke, he assigned a room to everyone.
Mi Li'er lives next door to Mu Fanchen, and she always feels bottomless.
But lying on the hot clay kang, that worry quickly dissipated, and she fell asleep in a daze.
Mi Li'er is holding her breath and waking up. When she opened her eyes, all she saw was Mu Fanchen's playful smiling face and the slender hand pinching her nose.
"Why are you so bad!" Mi Li'er sat up angrily and complained. How did the image of the cold son always collapse from time to time?
Mu Fanchen sat next to Mi Li'er and said with a smile: "I called you for a long time, but I didn't wake you up no matter how I told you, so I can only use this trick." ”
"Hmph." Mi Li'er snorted and ignored him.
"Let's go, just now Monk Huitong sent a little monk to come, saying that the host was going to invite us to a banquet. It is said that in some temples, the food is very delicious, and some people go to the temple specifically to eat a meal. Mu Fanchen tempted Mi Li'er and said.
As soon as she heard that there was something delicious, Mi Li'er immediately got up and followed Mu Fanchen away.
The place to eat is in the abbot's meditation room.
An old man with fairy wind bones was already sitting there waiting for them.
Seeing Mu Fanchen and Mi Li'er, he said happily: "Two distinguished guests, please come in!" ”
Mu Fanchen politely saluted the presiding abbot and said, "We passed by here and bothered us." ”
The host smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Helping others is what we should do." ”
"Abbot, I don't know something," Mu Fanchen said curiously, "Our Buddhism is important ......."
The host raised his hand to interrupt Mu Fanchen and said, "I have a few words to say to my son, but it is not convenient to say it just now, so I can only say it now." ”
"Please." Mu Fanchen said.
Mi Li'er watched the two of them fight, but she didn't know what the two of them were going to say.
"We're not really human." The abbot spoke amazingly.
Mi Li'er was taken aback.
She didn't notice anything wrong with the abbot.
Mu Fanchen looked like he knew it in his chest, and he didn't speak, just waiting for the abbot to say.
The abbot's voice was unhurried, and he looked like a monk: "Huitong and I were originally two monsters in the mountains, and we wandered around this temple every day. Monks can be heard chanting sutras every day. I don't know how long it took, but we gradually cultivated some mana. ”
"And later?" It's an amazing story.
"Later, a few hundred years passed, and the monks in the temple changed batch after batch, and we also cultivated into human bodies." The abbot said, "The two of us went to the temple together to become monks." ”
"That's exactly what happened." Mu Fanchen asked, "Then how did you do it?" ”
The abbot shook his head and said, "What I want to do every day is to devote myself to the Buddha and be baptized by the Dharma. It's just that the previous host passed away, so he had to let me be the host. ”
It's a prosaic story, but it's touching to listen to.
Mi Li'er has already made up a lot of plots.
It must have been this youkai in the temple, extremely pious, and finally touched everyone.
"If only all the monsters in the world were as dedicated to goodness as you." Mu Fanchen said with emotion.
The host pronounced a Buddha name and said slowly: "Being baptized by the Buddha is our blessing." (To be continued.) )
